ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components.
Take precautions during furnace installation and servicing to
protect the furnace electronic control. Precautions will pre-
vent electrostatic discharges from personnel and hand tools
which are held during the procedure. These precautions will
help to avoid exposing the control to electrostatic discharge
by putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same
electrostatic potential.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. DO NOT TOUCH THE
CONTROL OR ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CON-
TROL PRIOR TO DISCHARGING YOUR BODY’S ELEC-
TROSTATIC CHARGE TO GROUND.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the furnace
chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in a person’s
hand during grounding will be satisfactorily discharged.
3. After touching the chassis you may proceed to service the
control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing that
recharges your body with static electricity (for example; DO
NOT move or shuffle your feet, DO NOT touch ungrounded
objects, etc.).
4. If you touch ungrounded objects (recharge your body with
static electricity), firmly touch furnace again before touching
control or wires.
5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled (ungrounded)
furnaces.
6. Before removing a new control from its container, discharge
your body’s electrostatic charge to ground to protect the
control from damage. If the control is to be installed in a
furnace, follow items 1 through 5 before bringing the control
or yourself into contact with the furnace. Put all used AND
new controls into containers before touching ungrounded
objects.
7. An ESD service kit (available from commercial sources) may
also be used to prevent ESD damage.
INTRODUCTION
The 58MCA Multipoise Condensing Gas-Fired Series 140 Limited
Furnaces are A.G.A./C.G.A. design certified for natural and
propane gases and for installation in alcoves, attics, basements,
closets, utility rooms, crawlspaces, and garages. The furnace is
factory-shipped for use with natural gas. An A.G.A./C.G.A. listed
gas conversion kit is required to convert furnace for use with
propane gas. The 58MCA 040 through 120 size units are
A.G.A./C.G.A. approved for use in manufactured (mobile) homes
when factory accessory conversion kit is used. The 140 size unit is
NOT approved for use in manufactured (mobile) homes. These
furnaces are suitable for installation in a residence built on site or
a manufactured residence completed at final site. The design of
this furnace line is NOT A.G.A./C.G.A. certified for installation in
recreation vehicles or outdoors.
These furnaces SHALL NOT be installed directly on carpeting,
tile, or any other combustible material other than wood flooring. In
downflow installations, factory accessory floor base MUST be
used when installed on combustible materials and wood flooring.
Special base is not required when this furnace is installed on
manufacturer’s Coil Assembly Part No. CD5 or CK5, or when Coil
Box Part No. KCAKC is used.
These furnaces are shipped with the drain and pressure tubes
connected for UPFLOW applications. Minor modifications are
required when used in DOWNFLOW, HORIZONTAL RIGHT, or
HORIZONTAL LEFT (supply-air discharge direction) applica-
tions as shown in Fig. 1. See details in Applications section.
These furnaces are shipped with the following materials to assist in
proper furnace installation. These materials are shipped in the main
blower compartment.

This furnace must be installed with a direct-vent (combustion air
and flue) system and a factory accessory termination kit. In a
direct-vent system, all air for combustion is taken directly from the
outside atmosphere and all flue products are discharged to the
outside atmosphere. See furnace and factory accessory termination
kit instructions for proper installation.
Before installing the furnace in the United States, refer to the
current edition of the NFGC and the NFPA 90B.
For copies of the NFGC and NFPA 90B, contact the National Fire
Protection Association Inc., Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA
02269; or for only the NFGC contact the American Gas Associa-
tion, 400 N. Capitol St., NW, Washington DC 20001.
Before installing the furnace in Canada, refer to the NSCNGPIC.
For a copy of the NSCNGPIC, contact Standard Sales, CSA
International, 178 Rexdale Boulevard, Etobicoke, (Toronto) On-
tario, Canada M9W 1R3.
Installation must comply with regulations of serving gas supplier
and local building, heating, plumbing or other codes in effect in the
area in which installation is made. In the absence of local building
codes, installation must conform with the NFGC in the United
States and the NSCNGPIC and all authorities having jurisdiction
in Canada.
These instructions cover minimum requirements for a safe instal-
lation and conform to existing national standards and safety codes.
In some instances, these instructions exceed certain local codes
and ordinances, especially those that may not have kept pace with
changing residential construction practices. We require these
instructions as a minimum for a safe installation.
Application of this furnace should be indoors with special
attention given to vent sizing and material, gas input rate, air
temperature rise, unit leveling, and unit sizing. Improper
installation or misapplication of furnace can require excessive
servicing or cause premature component failure.
